Assuming you are just replacing an existing graphic or face while
keeping the rest of the archetype the same (stats such as ac, magical
properties, et al.)

There are a few ways this can be done, I will summarize the one I use.

Save the .png file in the same location and proper directory where you
extracted the archetype files to originally.

Go to the Crossfire server directory, and then cd to: crossfire/lib

You should see a file called archetypes in that directory.

Delete the archetypes file (rm archetypes or just use this command
from the crossfire server directory:  rm crossfire/lib/archetypes)

Back in the Crossfire server directory, run the compile and make
process like you originally did or have.

Restart the server and you should see the new graphics in place in the
game.

If you do not see the new graphics, check the server logs and see if
that sheds any light on the possible problem.
